AdiumBook: Keep your Address Book and Adium contacts in sync

Tired of your Adium contacts not lining up with your Address Book contacts? AdiumBook is the solution.
AdiumBook is a free application for the Mac that synchronizes your Adium contacts with your Address Book. The features of AdiumBook fall into three basic categories: search, manage, and reporting.
The built-in search functionality allows you to find an Adium contacts in your Address Book, find an Address Book contact in Adium, or search for specific text in both applications.
Adding an Adium contact to the Address Book is as simple as pressing the Add button. If the contact already exists, you can import the Adium data to an Address Book entry without overwriting the original contact information. Changing the picture, name, IM entry, etc...is as easy as dragging and dropping the information on the Address Book entry.
AdiumBook offers a one-click reporting process that gathers a list of contacts with no picture, a list of contacts present in Adium but not in Address Book, and vice versa.
AdiumBook is open source, and made for Mac OS X.

If it's open source, why doesn't it work on Windows and Linux?

The use of the word "synchronizes" is really sloppy. This app "copies" the data, one off, item by item, and in no way keeps things synchronized.
But it's still a nice app.

@michael ...because Adium is OS X only, along with that pesky Address Book application?
